guys

just had to move my machines and therefore had to dump the coolant.

the coolant was starting to get a bit funky in the lathe a few weeks before the move but just waited till we moved before i dumped it.

now that we have moved i have cleaned up the chip tray and coolant tank and need to add new coolant.

should i be doing something about cleaning the rest of the machine out so that any old coolant in the lines or wherever it might be doesn't contaminate the new coolant?

i use a castrol coolant if that helps.

if i do have to give the lines and internals a clean up what is usually the best way to do this.

just don't want 100 litres of new coolant going off in record time.

This post has some good advice, about half way down... Eritex, Inc. comments: that may be what you should do.
